Downside is I got totally slammed and today I have a high altitude hangover, zero co-ordination and have lost the will to live.

Jayzus, the guy hasn't been in the league for 20 years. Even when he was in the league, he was little more than a joke. Find a better example, please.

In the interests of fairness it should be pointed out that the US (and Britain) went into Korea in response to the invasion of the South by the communist north.

Husband really just likes having ESPN. He will watch baseball and football equally, but he'll take it a step further and even watch college football, . I like hockey, he doesn't-but then I grew up in hockey country. Basketball seldom gets a view from us.
He will watch golf, which pretty much bores me to tears.

As you said please, how about Minnesota Vikings Dave Dixon, he was second heaviest NFL player at 357lbs until Korey Stringer died.

You guys are aware that there are players other than linemen on the field during a football game, right? You're also aware that linemen are typically world-class power lifters and surprisingly fast, right?

Also, Dave Dixon (never heard of him) is apparently Maori.

David Dixon, Minnesota, right guard - When the Vikings broke the NFL team scoring record in 1998 with 556 points, Dixon was there at right guard. When Minnesota led the NFL rushing in 2002, and in total offense in 2003, Dixon was there. In fact, the soft-spoken New Zealander with the massive build (6-5, 343 pounds) has been a major cog in all of Minnesota's offensive success from late 1996 on, when he was inserted into the starting lineup by then-head coach .

sounds like deeds, not words is his motto.

And how do you suppose Britain managed to be the world's first global power and the largest empire in human history? By knocking before entering? (FYI: We had the bits in pink).
